- After purchasing this chipper shredder for $30 dollars on Facebook Market, I started with the lowest cost repairs through more expensive fixes until I completed restoration.
This video also shows some of the challenges I had on its first real test of chipping and shredding.

I just recently got a machine just like you have .had put it in the shop.to get the carb rebuilt hopefully it will be a great help with my need,s I also have na Dr ranger limb chipper thank you for putting this video on TH-cam young man
Thank you Sir.
@@PlanItSendIt you are welcome young man
Dude, you are a patient man. Good job. Thanks for posting this video.
Thank you
My pull spring broke on mine and now I start it with a socket and my 20V dewalt drill. I’m kinda glad it broke lol. Chipper works but it’s time consuming and picky on branches. Anything larger than an inch and it takes forever. Unless you need the chips I’d just burn it.
Good advice, ty 👍
There you go that's the way to do it I restored a the couple chippers theater branches like they were toothpicks toothpicks two and a half to 3 inches
Thank you 😊
I guess it would be a lot of trouble for you to proofread what you have written before you go ahead and post it, right ? SMH
You gotta oil the air filter on these machines. You can find the operator manual online.
Thank you. I'm about to rebuild it and will absolutely keep that tidbit when it's time.
@@PlanItSendIt I have a 3hp 080202 off a chipper I’m considering giving to a good home. I want to upgrade to a 5hp chain drive. Looks like it was running recently, picked up for scrap off someone who purchased a house and it came with it. Needs a new rewind spring and screw to hold carb on as far as I can tell send me a email at ghilliesiut1994@gmail.com
Hey man I have the same 5 horsepower Craftsman chipper shredder and I'm kind of having some of the same issues tomorrow I'm going to do a blade replacement😮
I've been contemplating the same replacement due to the vibration.
Thank you for sharing your vid. By an chance do you happen to have a close up picture of your carb? I bought a knockoff carb from Amazon and the machine isn’t running well, it sounds like it’s starving for fuel but spark plugs indicates it’s running very rich. Also where did you get your gaskets from? And new carb? Thank you
Yeah, I came across a few of those too. When I looked mine up, I saw that a new model was the replacement for the original. Wish I had the website for you. There were some differences, but as you saw it worked. The gasket came with my new carb. Good luck!
Overalls, eye protection, ear protection and flip flops is the only way to do it... Lol
Yeah, I might not be 100% when it comes to OSHA's role models ;)
@@PlanItSendIt 11:58 scary how your arm is in the chute. now that's scary.
Could you please give me the part number of the carburetor I am looking to fix mine but the information has been deleted
The original part number was 492611 for the whole carburetor assembly. When I purchased mine, it had a different part number but said something like... "fits the following also..." Good luck!
@@PlanItSendIt thaks
Thx had trouble with mine
Thank you 😊 for the feedback
Looking at one of these on Marketplace also. How much was a replacement carb? Does the 5 HP seem to have plenty of power? What size limbs are recommended max size? Thanks
When looking for the carp, you're going to see a lot of different prices that had me asking... "why is this one so expensive compared to the others and vice versa?". I got mine for around $30. It advertises up to 3 inches, but when going that big, I have to put some in until the engine starts to wind down, then I pull the branch out until the engine gains speed again. If you're getting a bargain price, they do good. My only complaint is the shoot tends to fill up so that why you saw me pulling stuff out the side and left the guard off so I had easy access to remove debris when it starts to clog up. Hope this helps. Thank you.
Good going 👏 I was guessing your in Fresno or there abouts...am I close? I'm in Washington
I'm down in San Diego.
😮
👍
as well no brush larger than your little finger as it will slow down the engine and will not fling the chip out the shote becomes clogged and still more doen time...
I appreciate the tips, thank you.
How did you use the lapping compound on the valves and seats
I laid down the compound and used a stick with a suction cup. Once I could see a consistent ring along the valve and opening, I stopped.
I have a chipper like the one you had in your video, and i am still trying to get it to stared, my coil wire is stripe in some placed. what is the spark plug gaps.

.030 all day long
haveing lived with the same model fof what seemed a eternity there are tricks learned over time.the blades inside the housing need to be sharp. equally important inside the hoiusing arer flails that is the fingers that swing out to throw the brush out the shoot need to swing. over time they become stuck. so remove the housing and free up the flails or fingers. this will need to be a seasonal maintnance item. i gave mine to a unsupecting frenchman beacause his wife thought what a deal its free..
That's history right there... thank you.
Could send a picture or talk about how the inside of the discharge area looks? I can’t figure which way the metal “flapper” inside is supposed to go ( the one that the large thru-pin fits through )
Sorry for the delayed response. It hasn't been running well so I haven't messed with it in a bit, but I'll have to pull it out and take a look sometime this week and get back to you.
where do you put the starting fluid?
I just got one of these from my dad's house and I don't remember where the starting fluid goes
I was spraying directly into the carb
Sorry but that was not a restoration
Definitely could be more restoration on it I agree, ...to be a true full restoration down to each nut & bolt, and paint.
